CCC3 Painted Industrial

Challenge #7 at Compendium of Curiosities is Painted Industrial (p.46), one of my favorites, because it leads perfectly into the steampunk style I love. The challenge for week four at Camp Scrap with May Flaum is to identify something you do that you love, and this is an example of what I love to create. This challenge is sponsored by Inspiration Emporium with many thanks. I started with a 7 Gypsies rubber band book, and painted the covers with distress paints.

Next step, "painted industrial"

Inside pages...

Well, it just so happens that the challenge at Simon Says Stamp is "J is for..." And since this is a Gentleman's Journal, I will also be sending it there.

Maura...your journal is awesome! I love the background done with the distress paints. It's so muted and marbled and COOL! Your painted industrial technique on your gears and clock faces is beautifully done. I love how you've created such a cool design for the front of your journal by carefully cutting around selected areas of the embossed metal. Your stamped images on your interior pages really completes this very cool journal! Thanks for sharing your journal and your art with us at CC3C. <3 Candy
